that look to identify the things we have in common. For example, I've practiced yoga for 39 years and I teach yoga at my local senior center. Yoga practices Talk about the importance of coming together, of supporting one another, of being aware of what's happening around the world and staying engaged. Too easy these days to say, I've got my, I've got what I need, see you, bye.

I'm not optimistic about that happening in the current political climate. Those who are politicians could be willing to learn more about mental illness. Recently, when my son was in the hospital and they were not treating him appropriately, they began to charge him with assault and battery against other patients and staff.

They were doing that intentionally, Tony, to rid themselves of a patient they thought was very difficult. This, my son, belonged at the state Worcester Recovery Center, where they had the staff to handle him. And this hospital could not arrange for him to be transferred. I worked for months there. I called the Commissioner of Mental Health of Massachusetts. I called the medical directors there.

I worked very, very hard. Did I call my legislator? Absolutely. Nobody cared enough. They looked the other way. Bringing 14 assault battery charges against someone in psychosis is a real attention getter. It has resulted in my son being put in jail. when he has severe mental illness. He had no history of violence prior to his stay in the hospital.

So we're pointing out that this particular hospital was not willing or able to treat my son appropriately. They were not able to provide care. They were not able to get him to a place that could provide care. And so we need to work more at educating people who work with the mentally ill

Each time I went to visit my son, I ended up saying to the staff, your staff is undereducated and undertrained to know what psychosis is. So that's a really important place to start. Historically, psychiatrists have not looked forward to treating the most severely mentally ill. The most severely mentally ill are those with bipolar disorder and those with a schizophrenia spectrum disorder.

Those who have a schizophrenia spectrum disorder, about 1%, of the global population. That means a lot of mental health professionals do not regularly come in contact with people with schizophrenia unless they choose that as a specialty, unless they have that as a special interest. Same is true for psychiatric hospitals, the smaller private places. They want to treat depression.
